Tor Ulven (1953–1995) was a Norwegian author known for his deeply introspective and melancholic writings. His work often explored themes of existential despair, isolation, and the human condition, characterized by a precise yet emotionally detached prose style. Ulven's literary journey was marked by a significant personal struggle with mental health, culminating in his tragic suicide at the age of 41. Despite his relatively short life and career, he has become an influential figure in contemporary literature, often compared to philosophers like E. M. Cioran.
